Some good news out of Baltimore, 90% tax break is huge.
Urban farmers would qualify for property tax breaks of 90 percent, under a bill the City Council sent Monday to Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
Rawlings-Blake is expected to sign the bill granting the tax breaks to farmers who grow and sell at least $5,000 of fruit and vegetables a year.
Councilman William "Pete" Welch, the bill's sponsor, said the credits could help improve eating habits in the city, and in turn address some of Baltimore's health disparities. The credits could be used for five years before they would need to be renewed.

Overall it sounds like a BS bill imo. $5,000 worth of produce is a LOT, especially when the average townhouse has virtually no yard. The income tax on the $5000 is probably more than the property tax. lol

If you could get some local restaurants on board and focus on herbs and such, it might be doable

I can tell you've never been to Baltimore. lol There's not much of a restaurant scene here, and most of the restaurants we have are chains.
